The Data-Model Convergence (DMC) Initiative is a multidisciplinary effort to create the next generation of scientific computing capability through a software and hardware co-design methodology.

PNNL's Ocean Dynamics Modeling group studies coastal processes such as marine-hydrokinetic energy, coastal circulations, storm surge and extreme waves, tsunamis, sediment transport and nutrient-macroalgal dynamics.

PNNL researchers developed and manage the online database Tethys to actively collects and curates information on the environmental effects of wind and marine energy.

Triton aims to reduce barriers to deployment of marine energy devices through research and advancement of environmental monitoring tools and methodologies.
